wall outlet.
8) Tubes ­ During operation the tubes get very hot. Do not touch the tubes since this may
result in a severe burn. Allow at least 10 minutes after removing power from the tubes for them to
cool down before touching..
9) Turn­off when not using ­ Turn off the unit as soon as you stop actively using it. Unplug
the power supply from the wall during a lightning storm or when the product is to be left
unattended and unused for longer durations..
ENVIRONMENT
1) Water and Moisture ­ Do not use this product near water ­ i.e. near a bathtub, sink, laundry tub;
or near a swimming pool etc. Damp basements should be avoided.
2) Heat ­ The product should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers,
stoves or other appliances that produce heat. Also avoid putting the unit in the direct rays of the sun.
3) For indoor use only.
PLACEMENT
1) Accessibility ­ ​
It is normal for a vacuum tube power amplifier to run warm if used for prolonged periods.
Tubes are very hot when operating and should not be touched for at least ten minutes after the unit is turned off
to prevent burns. ​ Always place your amplifier away from children and pets to prevent burns.
2) Ventilation ­ This product should not be placed in a built­in installation or rack unless proper
ventilation is provided or the manufacturer's instructions have been followed. Never place anything
on top your amplifier that could obstruct the airflow and cause the electron tubes to overheat and
damage the amplifier. Do not place your amplifier in a closed bookcase; overheating could occur.
Ensure that there is at least 8” (200mm) of open space above the amplifier.
3) Surface ­ Place the unit on a flat level surface. ​
Care should be taken to prevent objects from falling on or
into the unit. Do not subject the unit to excessive smoke, dust, vibration or shock.
MAINTENANCE
1) Cleaning ​ ­ Unplug this product from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or
aerosol cleaners. Use a dry cloth for cleaning. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring
powder or solvent such as alcohol or benzene.
2)
Tube replacement ​
– The electron output tubes have a lifespan of 2000­3000 hours. We strongly
recommend replacing the output tubes at 20­30 months interval (depending on your listening habits) and
signal tubes at every other power tube replacement (after 24­36 months). This will ensure that the amplifier
always performs at its best and tube failure will not overstress other parts.
3) Biasing the amplifier ­
​
The
​
EOS
​
amplifier uses tubes in a fixed­biasing configuration and requires
adjustment after changing your output tubes(the KT120s). Follow the easy instrucions below to get
them biased.
Welcome to Your First Use and The Bias Setting of Your Eos. Many of you may never have set bias on
an amp before. Well, you're in luck. Setting the bias on your Eos is very simple and requires nothing
more than the included screw driver.
